SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - DECEMBER 07: Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac performs on stage in concert at Acer Arena on December 7, 2009 in Sydney, Australia.

It's no secret that Fleetwood Mac is going on the road in 2013 -- you can expect an announcement of dates soon, in fact.

But singer-guitarist Lindsey Buckingham is also hoping that some new music might result from the trek, either before or after. In fact, Buckingham says, he's already started that process with drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie:

"It's interesting. John and Mick came over from Hawaii quite a few months ago, and we sat down and tracked some stuff. But...we haven't quite banded together to make it into something beyond that. Obviously Stevie (Nicks) would have to come to the table for that. So that's a work in progress. We may be able to organize something -- I wouldn't think a whole album but possibly something before we hit the road, or if not then possibly something a little more extensive after the tour, depending on what everybody wants to do."

Fleetwood Mac's last album, "Say You Will," came out in 2003. The group last toured in 2010 and was planning to go out in 2012 but was waylaid by solo projects.

Buckingham has just released "Lindsey Buckingham: One Man Show," an iTunes chronicle of his current solo tour that recently wrapped up.
